(D major) (F major) (A minor)
Ev'rybody (E major) has a
Verse 1
native (A minor) land,
(F major) In the North, south (A minor) East or West,
And it's only right, your (G major) native land
Should be the (G major) place (F major) you
(B flat minor) love the be (A minor) st
Now it makes no diff'rence
what you (F major) are,
Don't wait for fame to come, (G major)
(F major) Just go and get it, and they'll
give you credit,,
No (F major) matter (A minor) where

Verse 2
It's not your nationality, (F major)
It's what you do,
It's (E flat minor) (G major) not your (F major) personality,
(G major) That always (E minor) pulls you (E major) through.
Bismark (F major) make his (A minor) mark (F major) in Ger (A minor) many,
we (F major) know,
And (A minor) young (F major) Mar (A minor) coni had a
scheme that (A minor) sounded phoney,
But he upset all (F major) the dope. (A minor) (F major)
(G major) Just think of Rockefeller (G major) (F major) and
what he can (B flat minor) buy, (F major)
He started from the cellar,
But he climbed (G major) (E major) away up high
(G major) So if you've got the spir (G major) it,
(F major) Nevermind your name,
(A minor) Folks (F major) will (G major) hear it, if you play the game,
It's not your national (G major) ity,
(A minor) it's simply (G major) you!
Ev'ry day you'll hear somebody brag,
Verse 3
Of the land where they belong,
And they knock all other nationalities,
But take my tip, they're wrong.
In the end the man that (G major) plugs along
Is the fel (F major) low that succeeds,
The whole creation is a great big nation,
They judge you by your deeds:
It's not your nationality,
It's what you do,
Sometime a technicality
(G major) Will bring great (E major) fame to you. (E minor)
Bryan (F major) kept tryin' he
never gave up hope,
And young Marconi had
a scheme that sounded phoney,
But (A minor) he up (F major) set all the dope. (A minor)
Just (G major) think of Henry Ford and his (F major) old Fliver bus,
(A minor)
(F major) We laugh, but all the dough he's got,
(G major) He took away from us,
So (F major) never mind your breeding,
(G major) Keep a (F major) level head,
Face the world,
prepare to knock'em dead,
(G major) It's not your nationality, it's simply you!
